I won a lot of 80 '66 Topps commons except for an Aparicio and a Ldrs. card. They were described as EX/EX-MT. I would describe them as VG-EX/EX. Anyway, this is how they came shipped. None were in toploaders or evey penny sleeves, they were just placed "loosely" in a stack with this little bit of bubble wrap covering them. No tape, no cardboard to keep them in place or anything. WOW... The seller has 100% feedback rating at 3790. The auction says "satisfaction guaranteed". Only about $32 but still...

    "They were described as EX/EX-MT. I would describe them as VG-EX/EX"

    They probably were EX/EX-MT cards when the seller shipped them

    Good point, they might have been EX-MT when they started out. They were not even wrapped in the bubble wrap, just sitting on it. Unbelievable...

    The cards were poorly packaged.

    If you think the cards got hurt in transit, you could file a SNAD-claim.

    You would have to pay return shipping, but you would get a refund
    of the purchase price.

    I bought a $4.5K graded-note, and it was shipped in a VHS-size
    Priority Mail box.

    There was ZERO packing in the box. When it arrived, I was shocked
    to hear "rattling" in the light box.

    No damage, but it was troublesome. The shipper was a BIG and
    famous seller.

    Brutal - SNAD all the way. Sorry about this - it sucks.
    Looking for rare Randy Moss rookies and autos, as well as '97 PMG Red Football cards for my set.

    I once had some vintage cards mailed loose (not even penny sleeves) in a PWE once. PWE's can be fine if shipped appropriately for cheap cards in toploaders and taped.

    But to just throw loose cards in a box? what was the seller thinking?

    A lot of folks on ebay are not card sellers, they ship how they ship other stuff, wrapped in foil, bubble wrap, taco bell napkins and the like. I appreciate the folks who take the time to package properly. If you think they were damaged in shipping then file a claim, i think they were probably just overgraded.

    I had a guy come in one day with a metal safety deposit box with what he claimed was filled with Jordan cards. He was right, 70-80 Jordans, including a rookie sticker, a 2nd year and 2nd year sticker and a handful of early 90's inserts. The problem was they were all loose and he slung this box around like a 9 year old with a lunch pail. EVERY single card had FOUR corner dings. Needless to say it went from a four figure collection down to a two digit collection.

    Moral of the story is, a lot of people, even people who collect, do not realize how important condition is.
    IT IS ALWAYS CHEAPER TO NOT SELL ON EBAY

    Really what did you expect for $32 worth of 66 BB?
